Microplastics versus drinking water treatment
Original language description
Nowadays, microplastics (MPs) are being detected in seas, oceans and freshwater bodies worldwide, even in very remote areas. Some, so far rare, studies reported also the occurrence of MPs in potable water. We decided to summarize all available information regarding the presence of MPs in drinking water sources (both in raw water directly at DWTPs and in freshwaters) and in potable water (both in public drinking water system and in bottled waters), and regarding the removal of MPs by different water treatment processes. Approximately 100 studies were reviewed to provide concise conclusions. This summary enabled to identify the research needs regarding MP removal by DWTP technologies. We also compared MPs to other pollutants commonly present in raw water for DWTPs.
